Username, local group, IsInRole

[Anna]

Hi,

I would like to do the following on the WinXP SP2 using .Net framework 1.1 &
C#:

If I know the username (can be domain user or just local user), I do not
know the password, and I know the group name (local group) and the user is
NOT the current user, how can I determine if:
1. The user is defined on this machine
2. The user belongs to the local group

The check will be performed on the machine itself so no client-server access
issues.

Thanks in advance,
Anna

AFAIK if you operate locally, then there is no Active Directory info. You
can P/Invoke and use security API or network management api

Have a look at these functions
NetUserAdd
NetUserEnum
NetUserGetRroups
NetUserGetLocalGroups - returns local groups to which the user belongs
etc....

These functions reside in win32 dll - Netapi32.dll
